G'day Shane
Thanks, but something weird was going on.
If I saved as a .txt file, extra tabs seem to be being added, so item 2 of theEntries was seen as '"
If I saved as a plain file without an extension, item 2 of theEntries was seen as a date, which is correct.
I copied and pasted the saved text from the .txt file into Pages, and showed invisibles, and extra tabs showed up.
However, I removed every instance of 'tab' from my script where it was building the list of saved items, then retyped them in, and now I only get one tab between each item. And it's working fine, thanks.
Regards
Santa
